SPONSOR A STUDENT
Founder SUPPORT COVERS one cohort OF STUDENTS ON A PAID 12 WEEK PROGRAMME PLUS, EDUCATOR SALARIES AND TEACHING EQUIPMENT.
Pub Club Cotswolds is a Community Interest Company which relies solely on grants and donations.
In our inaugural year, we will be looking to private donations, industry partners and community grants to help us launch Pub Club and support our first two cohorts of students.
Each student costs Pub Club £10,000 over the 12 week programme. This includes their wage, educator salaries, equipment, mentorship, computers and IT, subsidised travel, healthy meals, industry engagement, employment partners and much more.
Donations of any size are very welcome indeed and every penny and pound will go towards ensuring we offer our students the best experience possible.
We are always looking for industry partners to work with so that we are able to offer a rich and varied experience for our students. This may be through guest speakers and workshops, trips and site visits, work placements and being part of our talent pool for graduate job opportunities.
There are myriad ways you can support and by widening the net we are not only able to help our students, but to also create meaningful change within the hospitality industry through education and training.

WAYS TO DONATE
You can choose from the suggested donation amounts below, each linked to a specific area of support for our students.
Donations can be made using Apple Pay/Google Pay, credit and debit cards.
Thank you for your support and donations.
COMPUTERS, IT & EQUIPMENT
All students receive an iPad for the duration of their time at the Pub Club. This allows our students to be on a level playing field in terms of equipment and gives access to the online learning resources needed to complete the programme. They will be provided with the equipment needed to complete their training across all pathways.
STUDENT PAYMENTS
Pub Club operates a paid twelve week full time learning programme. Payment is in line with the Public House Group starting salary. Students are expected to attend all classes Monday - Friday as per the timetable. We are committed to supporting every student who comes through the Pub Club programme and ask that each individual shows the same commitment.
HEALTHY MEALS
All students receive freshly prepared meals as well as snacks and drinks during school hours.
SUBSIDISED TRAVEL
Rural isolation and lack of access to regular and reliable transport can have a huge impact on access to jobs and learning. With that in mind we will structure travel support for students who need it.
INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT
We are very lucky indeed to have great relationships within the industry. This allows us to enhance the curriculum with masterclasses, workshops, work placements, trips, career guidance and more through the support of our employment partners and friends. These relationships are unique to Pub Club and carefully sought and nurtured for the benefit of our learners.
EMPLOYMENT PARTNERS
We work with a number of local and nationwide employment partners who share vacancies and opportunities for all Pub Club students as well as offering work placements during the 12 week course. This allows all students to gain hands on experience across all areas of the industry and increase opportunity for full time employment.
MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
All students will be assigned a personal mentor who will work with them throughout the twelve week programme and for a period of time when they leave. There will also be weekly 1:1 sessions with a member of the education team where students are able to share any reflections relating to the programme as well as career advancement and well being. Mentor recruitment and management will be undertaken by the Pub Club team.
TRIPS & VISITS
Having access to partner venues as well as suppliers and producers is imperative in supporting the deeper curriculum and programme. Students will benefit from timetabled trips to hospitality partners which will broaden their knowledge of the industry and give them first hand experience of a variety of operators.
EDUCATOR SALARies
The Pub Club programme is developed and delivered by a small team of hospitality and education leaders. It is imperative to not only have continuity when it comes to communication and learning, but to ensure full time student support and safeguarding.
